Coastal Carolina proves no match for South Carolina in season opener

South Carolina put the offensive weapons that have Gamecocks followers so excited on full display, and Coastal Carolina was unable to keep up Saturday afternoon at Williams-Brice Stadium.

The Gamecocks employed a hurry-up, no-huddle offense for much of the game and drove the field seemingly at will, scoring touchdowns on six of their first seven possessions in a 49-15 win in front of 75,126 at Williams-Brice Stadium.

The Gamecocks outgained CCU 557-238 in new offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon’s debut, and the debut of Marvin Sanders as the defensive coordinator at Coastal, a building program that kicked off its second season at the FBS level of college football.
